Night, Staying up all night


[Verse 2:]

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet

Sleeping all day, staying up all
D D Em Em C C D D Em Em C C
Night, Staying up all night


[Chorus 1:]
D D Em Em C C
If I could find you now Things would get better

We would leave this town And run forever
D D Em Em C C
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah

Theres a piece of you that's here with me

I can make believe that you're here
D D Em Em C C D D Em Em C C
tonight, That you're here tonight


[Chorus 2:]

I remember that look in your eyes

When looking up at the same night sky
Em Em
And keep pretending the sun will not rise

We'll be together for one more night
C C
Somewhere somehow


[Chorus 2:]

If I could find you now Things would get better

We would leave this town And run forever

I know somewhere, somehow We'll be together

Let your waves crash down on me and take me away, yeah
